Celebrating spring Giveaway

Sorry, the giveaway is now closed!

We have been blessed with a fantastic weather this week. It’s still a bit on the chilly side, but the skies are blue and the sun is out. I have been on baby-duty for a couple of nights, totally voluntarily and lovely grandma/baby-bonding-time, but being a 50-something and all, I honestly preferred to take a nap today rather than anything else including creative playtime.

In the spirit of this fabulous week and having received the first batch of my book, Gledesspredere, it is time to host a celebratory giveaway, and the prize is a signed copy of this fabulous book. It is still in Norwegian, but I’ll ship anywhere.To enter the giveaway you’ll just need to leave a comment on this post before closing time on Monday April 9th in the evening, Norwegian time when I’ll draw the lucky winner.I have picked a few appropriate spring like projects from the book to share; all photos by Ragnar Hartvig – enjoy!“Vår” (Spring)

“Morgenfugl i blomsterenga” (Early bird in the flower meadow)

“Herregårdshage” (Formal garden)

“Sol, bare sol” (Sun, just sun)

“Alle fugler” (All the birds)

“Flere fugler” (More birds)

“Georg”

“Blomsterbud” (Flower delivery)

A few copies of the book are available here as of today, so let me know if you’d like to order one. I will sign it if you want. The going rate is NOK 279 + shipping and handling (I know, books are quite expensive here), prepaid through PayPal (international orders). I won’t be shipping anything out until after Easter anyway, so you can still take part in the giveaway.Happy spring and good luck to you all!

All of your designs are so fabulous, fresh and fun. I love everything you do. Congratulations on achieving your first book. I know it must have been an extraordinary amount of work! Thank you for sharing your talents with us!!

Your book looks absolutely fabulous!! I have one of your art pieces on my kitchen wall (poppies) and I love it!! Now it would be special to have your book on my coffee table in the family room! Thanks for the chance! Hugs!

welcome

to my tiny little piece of the Internet; I hope you'll enjoy your stay! Leave a comment if you like; I would love to hear from you. You'll find my patterns and tutorial tabs on the top of the page.All material is copyrighted.

so who am I?

My name is Nina Lise and I live in Norway where I share my life with my (incredible patient) husband, our daughter, two grandboys 9 and 5 (centre of the universe and masters of our house once a week and every other weekend), and an ever growing stash of fabric (lovingly referred to as “crap” by husband).
I have been quilting for 18 years, and it is consuming my time, my budget and large parts of both my brain and our house (hence the patient husband). I am pretty much a design-as-you-make-it-up quilter and enjoy the process even more than the finished project. I love playing with scraps of fabric and turning them into small, funny quilts. My first book was published in March 2012 and I also design patterns and teach classes.
